With their median age of 22.7 years old, the residents of Jacksonville, N.C., earned the city the title of the youngest in the U.S. So, churches interested in attracting these residents need to strike a more modern note.

New York City's next generation of architectural heritage has emerged at Hudson Yards, the largest private real estate development in U.S. history, and PPG metal coatings are again playing an integral role.

Challenging projects require creative solutions, and there were challenges aplenty with the construction of Gusto 501, a recently completed landmark-type restaurant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada’s historically industrial Corktown neighborhood.

The design team selected Dri-Design Tapered Series Panels to create a unique structure that helps tenants feel at home while at work.

To replicate the traditional look of a barn for a wedding/events center, it would only make sense to top the facility with a metal roof.

The Barn can accommodate more than 300 guests and is topped by 16,000 square feet of Medallion-Lok roofing panels from McElroy Metal.
